and as you can see i did echo quilting too:)))
i ended up cutting out 3 circles for the middle and non looked good so i used the scraps from cutting the dresdens and put them together and i quilted them .
this is during the quilting
this is part of the making piping from a 13 and a half inch square makes over 3 yards of bindings :))
this is it cut
starting to sew it using a zipper foot

Oh that really is lovely. Thanks for the tutorial - I even think that I can follow that one! xx
ReplyDeleteLinda!! This is GORGEOUS!!!! You now...I bought a dresden ruler quite a while ago and haven't used it yet. I think I just might treat myself to a night in my sewing room tonight and try it out. You have inspired me!!

It looks fab, great way to use the Echo
ReplyDeleteLinda, that cushion is gorgeous and I have never tried piping in my life but you almost make me believe I could do it without swearing!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your cushion is beautiful.
